October snow

What a weekend!  The Reading-Berks Guild of Craftsmen Holiday show was Oct 29-30 at Kutztown University.  The weather on Fri for setup was sunny and cool, but oh boy did that change.  My drive to the show on Sat morning was in the rain, but by 10am it was snowing, huge big fluffy flakes!  The forecast was for anywhere from 4" to 12".  The real problem was the heavy snow.  Leaves were still on the trees, and with the heavy snow, a lot of limbs couldn't hold the load.  Roads became blocked from downed limbs and wires.  Many people will be without power for many days.  I planned on taking photos, but by Sunday, most of the snow was gone. 
I was surprised by the number of loyal customers that came to the show in the snow!  Around 3, the power went out and closed the show.  Sunday was bright and sunny, but the damage was done.  Who would have believed that an October snowstorm could happen?
